AS THE LAST MINUTE Christmas rush gets underway, it’s time to give a shout out to the people making it all possible: Those of you in the service industry.
We see you, and we appreciate you. <3
Retail workers, we tip our caps to you
While everyone else is moaning about the stress of Christmas shopping, you are actually LIVING it.
Thanks for dealing with Christmas three months before Christmas should even be a thing
That can’t be a recipe for festive cheer.
Thanks for listening to the same songs ten times a day, five days a week, and not exploding when we ask you a stupid question
We can barely listen to this once without wanting to throw something, so fair play.
Sorry about the people who act like you’ve ruined Christmas for not stocking their preferred brand of toilet paper
Not a jury in the land would convict you if you decided to do away with them at that very moment.
Sorry about the bullsh*t that is St Stephen’s Day sales
There’s just no good reason for you to be up out of your bed the day after Christmas. We can’t explain it, nor will we condone it.
And bar staff, we haven’t forgotten about you
Dealing with heaps of people, all being their absolute worst selves. It can’t be easy.
Sticking it out through 12 Pubs, work parties, and the endless barrage of Christmas jumpers
Truly a heroic effort.
You really are doing the Lord’s work
And the least we can do is be sound. So we promise to be sound.
